Testimonials

Cottage was quiet and bed was very comfortable and I have a bad back so that’s saying something.

It is great for one person on business or a couple.

Really nice they had water and some snacks complimentary.

WiFi was out due to wind but Rick was on it and by the time I got back it was fixed!

Didn’t get to use the hot tub like I wanted bc it was pouring rain.

If there were a canvas/roof over the hot tub it might be more inviting during times of weather.

I would stay here again for sure! - Nicole

The cottage was warm and inviting, and we were able to relax comfortably for the weekend!

It was perfect walking distance from all of the shops downtown, and it the town itself is very quaint and quiet.

Rick was an amazing host and made sure that everything we needed was accessible.

We even had some car troubles and he offered to get us material to fix it from the hardware store.

He made the trip go extremely smooth and we definitely hope to return! - Taylor

Such a cute location! Rick was quick with responses and had plenty of suggestion about what to do/see. I enjoyed my time in Coupeville very much! - Bailee

You can see the cove from the kitchen bay windows. Also Mt. Baker on a clear day. Location is such that you can walk to the downtown shops, park, and beach. Great location and great value. - Mark

What a perfect place for a honeymoon! We had a wonderful stay at your charming cottage and we look forward to our next visit! You were the perfect hosts!!
